"Two bladder neck incisions"

My son had two bladder neck incisions due to the first one being unsuccessful since he has had the second one he's still has the problems he had previous to the op, only they are worse and he has pain on a very regular basis each week, he has been unable to work in the last year, he is unable to exercise, he used to be a very active person and as a result has piled on weight it's also affected his mental health making his mood low. And affecter his serial health. The specialist seemed not that bothered when my son went to see them and I feel so does my son that they have ruined his life.
